Enjoying Life is Productive!

No one is going to pressure you to enjoy life! In fact, most will pressure you to do more, be more productive, move faster and get 'er done. This attitude doesn't inspire us to be enjoying. Yes indeed being productive is enjoyable but there are many things that wouldn't be considered productive yet are enjoyable. So to enjoy more life, you have to be less productive?

Being productive is a tricky word. It means different things to different people. We get to chose what it means for ourselves, otherwise the worldly idea seems to be about work, accomplishment and tangible results. How about pleasure? Doesn't that produce tangible results? Feeling relaxed, in joy as we move, walking a canal or sitting by a fire? Is that considered productive? Where is the idea of relaxation as a productive endeavor? I think it adds vigor and life to my state. I have renewed energy to go to work, do the boring things or hard things when I refuel in joy, pleasure and relaxation. We sleep almost half of our life away which could be considered a form shutting off the mind, it has to have a clue to us on how we cyclically operate. I certainly don't want to be moving at high speed all my waking hours. I do like to sit and watch nature with tea.

Enjoying life means having more joy each day. The game to me seems to be how can I feel joyful. I can experience of variety of different ways and my job is to investigate them all. Work can bring great joy, I love to garden and write. But boy there are so many others things that bring joy. Skiing, canoeing, celebrating with friends, reading a book, teaching a class, going to a class.

Through practicing enjoyment, you then try to bring that joy to the mundane things that seem unjoyful. This is the art of enjoying. Finding the creativity and spin that brings more joy in our days. If we don't have relaxation as a tool in our box, then I am lost how to play the game!

I offer playful, powerful, learning classes here on the farm that offer this in joy learning. The information is scientific. the more you relax and enjoy life, really get the feeling of that energy and savor it, milk it, know it, feel it in your  body the healthier you will be and the easier it is to call up within you! You practice having joy and then it becomes a way of life, it has to be feeling, energy moving not just thinking. I am all for things being less serious and more fun so getting old doesn't have to be so rigid and weighted. We can still live like teenagers with curiosity and vitality to expand. Remembering the fun of playfulness is in every sacred book and religion that exists. Total relaxation and acceptance is considered enlightenment! Playing is the highest form of research according to Albert Einstein, so lets lighten up!

 Most of the images on google for joy were people in nature, jumping and hands up! That should tell us something! It is a powerful energy the vibe of joy! Lets use it in whatever way works for you! In joying life!
